Boy loves girl. Girl is nuts.

Beautiful
The neon eyes of night are focusing on you
Don’t worry
They cover lying lights and the darkness shines right through
Paint over memory ‘cause what you need is something new
You’ve given it your best
For so many years, your life seemed like a test
And that’s no way to behave
When you could be so beautiful
When you could have it all
Do-gooders prop you up, they call you everyday
Don’t worry
They’re all drinking from the cup
When optimism fades
They’ll turn to see that you have found a better way
And you’ll do it on your own
Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find your home
So stay with me
Resist your instincts
They’re all lying
Just tell me you’ll keep trying
Are you lost?
Are you hiding?
Are you safely locked away?
Hidden in black, scared of each day
Are you trapped?
Is there a key?
Do you already know the way out?
The town is infecting you
You’re feeling every ache
Don’t worry
It’s just a sympathy, it shares your misery
This city’s countless heartbreaks and scarlet history
The city, night and I
We have a faith in you
We believe you could be so beautiful
You could have it all
